Chapter 528 - First Victory 1

Chapter 528: First Victory 1
Minota gritted his teeth and ran out toward him. The minotaur was taking the lead, and the rest of the enemy heroes were forming a line behind him. Warren and Ellic were right behind minota, and Libya and Skia were bringing up the rear.
Junhyuk measured the distance between them and closed in on Minota. Before Minota could rush, Junhyuk noticed that Lybia was within range of his Spatial Slash. Normally, long rushes were covered 30 meters. On average, they covered 20 meters.
Even if the enemy heroes’ powers had evolved, Junhyuk still had a large gap in the range of their powers. He knew that to kill Lybia, the Spatial Slash would have to land as a critical. For that reason, he might not be able to do it in a single hit.
Minota was covering Lybia, so Junhyuk used his Spatial Collapse instead. He triggered it on Warren, who was in the middle. The enemy heroes had group up, so they all got sucked toward Warren.
Lybia lost her balance, and Junhyuk used his Spatial Slash on her. It was a critical hit, and the shockwave swept through the rest of the enemy heroes. Lybia was dead, and Warren had only a little health left.
Junhyuk teleported and stabbed Warren’s chest with Dentra’s Magic Sword.


It was another critical hit, and Warren died without even being able to use his ultimate.
Junhyuk knew he had to go all out in that battle. He was fighting solo against five heroes, so if his enemies started using their powers, he might die even with his high defense.
He was well aware of that, that he could not allow his enemies to use their powers.
With three attacks, he had killed two enemies, but the battle had just begun. The enemy heroes were still getting pulled, and Junhyuk slashed with both of his swords. Aksha’s Longsword lengthened and slashed as nine mirror blades. Meanwhile, Dentra’s Magic Sword pierced Skia’s neck.
Skia was left with 25 percent of health; Ellic had 37 percent left; and Minota had 42 percent. Junhyuk wanted to kill Skia without any powers, but the effect of the Spatial Collapse ended, and Skia blocked the rest of his attacks.
Skia seeped into Junhyuk’s shadow and attacked him. Junhyuk did not dodge it however. Instead of turning back as Skia’s dagger rushed toward him, Junhyuk stabbed back with Aksha’s Longsword.
He knew Skia had seeped into his shadow and that the hero would attack him from behind. It was a counterattack that took Skia’s life.
Skia faded away, and Minota rushed toward him. Minota triggered his rush at close range, but Junhyuk had been expecting that and easily evaded. He teleported behind Ellic and stabbed the hero.
Ellic scowled and raised his hammer up high, slamming it back down against the ground. Junhyuk knew what Ellic was up to, so he raised his force field.
Clang!


The shockwave blocked the stunning shockwave, and Junhyuk wrapped Aksha’s Longsword around Ellic’s neck. Then, he made the short shrink to its original size, and Ellic was beheaded in the process, fading away soon after.
All of that happened during a short period of time. Minota roared and howled and ran toward him, and Junhyuk swung his swords to meet the hero. Junhyuk had already used his Spatial Slash, but his force field was still active. Since that was the case, Junhyuk would deal with Minota with basic attacks.
Minota had not used his powers yet, so the hero split in two, activating his doppelganger. The two Minotas attacked him, so Junhyuk stepped toward one of them.
He triggered his acceleration, which enabled him to see Minota’s attack. From the hero’s attack, Junhyuk guessed that Minota had to have speed buff items. However, he was still able to dodge. He wanted to dodged Minota’s attacks instead of blocking because he knew Minota could still push him around with his strength. After the dodge, Junhyuk tried to counter.
However, both Minotas were attacking him. They had both punched at him, so he had to block the attack.
Boom!
The impact reverberated through the force field, which got stuck into the ground. Minota scoffed and kicked the force field, launching it away with Junhyuk inside. Junhyuk smiled bitterly at that.
He was now by the watchtower. Because he still had the force field active, Junhyuk did not teleport away. The archers’ arrows simply collided against the force field with no effect.
Minota ran toward him.
Minota’s shoulder slammed against the force field, and Junhyuk was pushed back again. The minotaur was attacking despite the force field covering him.


Junhyuk slashed one of Minota’s legs. The hero got injured and started limping, but he kept on attacking.
Junhyuk continued to slash at Minota’s leg, and the force field finally disappeared. Minota’s copy had also disappeared.

What are you going to do?
Minota said with a satisfied smile and rushed. His rush’s cooldown was much shorter than any of Junhyuk’s cooldowns.
Junhyuk blocked with Dentra’s Magic Sword and attacked with Aksha’s Longsword.
Boom!
He was launched back, but Aksha’s Longsword pierced Minota. Junhyuk shorted the blade from the hilt to get pulled toward the enemy hero and slashed with Dentra’s Magic Sword. Minota raised his arms to block, but Junhyuk changed the trajectory of the attack. The sword slashed the minotaur’s elbow. There was a sudden change in speed, and Minota hunched over. Aksha’s Longsword had pierced the minotaur’s stomach.

Ugh!

Minota had no health left. The hero fell to the ground, and Junhyuk smiled gladly.

This is the difference between us.


It’s all your items!



Junhyuk stabbed Minota’s face and said matter-of-factly,
Come fight me again.

Earth had four heroes now. If Minota went after him there, the heroes would deal with him. After that, Junhyuk turned to the group.

You’ve changed,
Gongon said.

Not by much.

To himself, Junhyuk had only acquired a new cloak, but Gongon shook his head and said,
No. Last time I met you in the training facility, you were different.

Junhyuk had gone beyond his limits, and Gongon could tell.
Layla looked at him and said,
If you invite me over again, spar with me.


Anytime.
Junhyuk picked up the dropped items and added,
Thanks for trusting me.


I didn’t think you would lose. Are you getting the pentakill bonus?


Not sure.



Junhyuk didn’t know if that pentakill had been the first of the tournament, but he expected something as a reward for it. However, he expected to get more from the items his enemies had dropped.
He turned to the group and said,
Like we planned, before Elise returns, let’s hunt buff monsters. Two of us should go after the roaming buff monster.


I’ll go with Layla.

Junhyuk looked at Gongon and Layla confident that the two would do the job and said,
OK. I’ll go after the Salamander.

Everyone dispersed.
They all went after their own buff monster. They were hunting while they waited for Elise. By that time, the enemy heroes should’ve given up. He had already pulled off a pentakill.
Junhyuk had displayed his superiority. If all allies fought together, there would no chance at all for the enemy heroes. They might even just stay in the castle.
Not all allies could pull of a pentakill like Junhyuk, but none of them would die easily.
Most of the allies had been attacked, but none of them had been under any danger. However, Libya could be dangerous. If the enemies decided to fight, the allies should focus their attacks on her first. Junhyuk decided that he would kill Libya and leave the others for the rest of his team.
Junhyuk went hunting without worry, but he couldn’t expect to be lucky for that long. He killed the Salamander, but the monster didn’t drop anything.
He started back down the road and contacted his allies, but nobody had seen the enemy heroes. There was no need to worry. After a while, they all gathered at the middle path, but none of them had acquired any synthesis materials.
Junhyuk realized everyone in his team was unlucky. He turned toward the enemy castle then. He could see it far away, and the enemy heroes stationed there. The heroes were on top of the wall. Only their minions were guarding the gate.
Of the enemies, only Libya could attack at long range. If the enemies were stationed there, they had to be planning to fight from the castle to diminish some of the allies’ health.
However, they didn’t know something about the allies. They had five hundred minions with them, and with that many minions, they could easily break down the gate.
The allies moved toward the castle, and the enemy heroes watched them from the top of the wall.

This is the end!
Junhyuk shouted.
Minota smirked and snapped his fingers.

Don’t speak nonsense! Come!

Junhyuk looked at the allies. They all looked eager and ferocious.

We’ll smash that gate in ten seconds.

Everyone smiled.

Let’s go!
